The first real positive return since the crisis of 2008 came in early 2014 … four years ago…

As you can see on our chart, the estimated return became slightly positive for the second time since 2008 at the start of 2014. In 2010, the estimated return went slightly positive but it was not enough to compensate the mortgages costs. This time, the performance is much stronger as the estimated profitability of 11.2% covers by more than 5 times the mortgages costs.

Financial markets suffer from negative performance and volatility

With the negative returns noticed in the financial markets in 2018 and the higher volatility, as long as the economy is growing, investors should keep a strong interest in real estate investments.

Other experts’ expectations for 2019

In an article published by the Spanish journal, EXPANSIÓN, on the 8th of January 2019, experts predict for 2019 price increases of 5% and 13% more transactions. At the same time, they see rental prices to continue to increase by 10%. While Barcelona and Madrid had strong prices increases since 2014, they think that the price action could be more for second-tier cities like Valencia, Malaga, Palma or Seville. Other cities like Alicante, Tarragona, Bilbao, Murcia or Zaragoza could see interest according to them. Read the article in Spanish.
